uniQure (QURE) said Wednesday that it intends to submit a Biologics License Application for the accelerated approval of AMT-130 to treat Huntington's disease in Q3. uniQure said the decision was made after a meeting with the US Food and Drug Administration, during which the regulator said that its three-year analysis from a phase 1/2 study would be acceptable as the primary basis of the application. The FDA also seeks to align with the company on the confirmatory study design before the application is submitted, including consideration of a standard care control group rather than a sham procedure. Both CLPT and QURE up big on the news.
Been holding strong and accumulating for several years. The patience is paying off as they’ve built a strong foundation and now begin to execute. Looking forward to watch AMT explode!

"whereas Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) defer tax until the shares are sold, though they may trigger Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) upon exercise." Not normal income tax at all. If they don't sell they don't pay.
Which are subject to AMT. And AMT will sock you pretty hard upon exercising.
0.30 is conservative. This is the ultimate recession/stagflation play. As vehicle affordability declines, used car leasing will skyrocket exponentially IMO. For a few hundred bucks a month, you can lease a car, while AMT holds on to an asset that will barely depreciate due higher inflation.
Another good write on AMT here. Looks to be getting a lot more eyeballs lately: https://www.reddit.com/r/PennyStocksCanada/comments/1ts5jve/dd_why_amtv_ameritrust_is_a_coiled_spring_the/
QURE and a few other names running today. The FDA asked another company with a flawed trial to resubmit its data, hinting at more approvals coming. Still think this is a $100+ stock once approvals start coming in. CLPT still hasn't moved much, but is starting to get some traction. Also could 3-4x just an an AMT-130 approval, much less all the other shots they have.
This is tax attorney territory, not Reddit optimization territory. The dangerous part is trying to create a loss while still keeping the same economic exposure. Once you start talking offsetting positions, loser in December, winner in January, neutral funds, options, margin, collateral, & timing games, you are walking into wash sale, straddle, constructive sale, & economic substance problems. The clean question is not “can I force a loss.” The clean question is “what can I legally do before year end without creating a worse tax problem than the gain.” With 500k plus in gains & 2M in brokerage assets, I would not be shopping for a clever trade first. I would pay for a real tax attorney or CPA who handles concentrated equity, option grants, QSBS if relevant, exchange funds, charitable giving, DAFs, Roth conversion timing, estimated tax, state tax, AMT exposure, NIIT, & whether the shares are taxed at vest, issuance, sale, or something else. Borrowing against the brokerage may solve liquidity. It does not magically solve tax character. The biggest mistake here would be manufacturing a paper loss that the tax code does not respect, then finding out later the gain stayed taxable & the “hedge” only added complexity.
The FDA is wanting a full double blind placebo test. A few problems with that process in this case. 1) AMT-130 is delivered via injection into the brain. So for the placebo group you need to open the skulls of HD patients and do.... nothing. Very few doctors want that risk. 2) HD had no course of treatment. So of you spend 4-5 years doing a double blind test, tons of people go without treatment. On too of that.... 3) AMT-130 has a specific window in the progression of HD in which it can be administered. After that, nothing. So if people that are eligible don't get it now, it's a death sentence. You're literally asking people to die so that we can get 4-5 years of data. So what QURE is asking for (and this isn't a new class of test) is to start administering their drug. Start collecting data using baseline data on existing HD patients in lieu of a placebo group. This allows HD patients to start getting treatment now. If it works, great. If not, those patients have literally lost nothing since there already was no treatment to do anything meaningful for them.
That is how employee stock options work. You get offered a purchase price. Regardless of future price, that is the price you can pay to buy stock (yes you still need to buy them). Also if stock appreciates a lot and you buy them then, you may have to pay AMT tax. Good luck!
The 1,125 ppm Cu number plus the 1,500 m AMT depth penetration really changed how I look at Wilmac. That starts sounding like a real system instead of isolated surface anomalism
AMT penetration to \~1,500 metres plus 1,125 ppm Cu in soils definitely makes the Wilmac story look more serious than it did a few months ago
Anyone can claim AI. Few have 1,500m of AMT depth, soil anomalies, and a porphyry district as their training ground. This is substance over hype.
If AMT goes down to \~1,500 meters, does that actually give them enough depth to see a full porphyry system footprint?
Interesting update overall. The combination of 3DIP and AMT always makes a project easier to understand structurally, even if it’s still early stage.
Yeah, that’s the key point here. It’s still an interpretation, but it’s not based on one dataset. You’ve got IP, AMT down to \~1,500m, soil geochem, and resistivity all lining up. That combination is what makes it more compelling than a single anomaly.
This 3DIP/AMT setup actually looks way more advanced than typical early-stage copper stories. Two intrusive centers is a pretty big deal if the interpretation holds. How confident are they in this model?
The survey specs are stronger than I expected from a company this size. Seven lines, 300m spacing and AMT penetration approaching 1.5 km gives them a decent amount of subsurface information to build targets from. A lot of juniors release geophysics with nowhere near this level of depth coverage or structural interpretation.
$AMT .. earnings going to benefit from the memory market surge
Have you owned the shares for longer than 1 year? If so, you owe long term capital gains (15% most likely, some rules regarding Alternative Minimum Tax/AMT if you’re a highly compensated employee with stock options).
What caught my attention here is the depth component. A lot of junior exploration news only talks about shallow anomalies, but AMT penetration to roughly 1,500 metres gives a much bigger picture of the potential intrusive system geometry underneath the property
Useful if it stays grounded. AI can help rank targets by combining soils, magnetics, IP/AMT, historical data, and geological models. It does not replace drilling.
What I like here is the depth component. AMT going to \~1,500m gives a much bigger picture than shallow surface work alone
Novared Mining news IP/ AMT reesults: [https://www.stocktitan.net/news/NREDF/historical-3dip-amt-survey-outlines-twin-intrusive-centres-and-pipe-3n7z0a8fpi6r.html](https://www.stocktitan.net/news/NREDF/historical-3dip-amt-survey-outlines-twin-intrusive-centres-and-pipe-3n7z0a8fpi6r.html)
So basically, the rocks at surface said “maybe,” and now IP/AMT is asking the underground rocks to stop being mysterious
For anyone wondering, this is mostly correct, and heres vocab: IP = Induced Polarization (using current to check for metals) AMT = Audio Magnetotellurics (similar but deeper) All this is for choosing smarter targets. Good stuff.
Here's some slop/receipts to consume: IREN (IREN Ltd) and APLD (Applied Digital Corporation) are actively transforming from crypto-mining into key players in AI data center infrastructure. AMT (American Tower Corporation) is also heavily involved, serving the AI data center market through its subsidiary CoreSite. Here is a breakdown of their involvement in AI data centers as of mid-2026: 1. IREN (formerly Iris Energy) • Role: An AI cloud computing provider that is pivoting its crypto-mining capacity to high-performance computing (HPC) data centers using renewable energy. • AI Focus: IREN focuses on developing large-scale GPU clusters for AI training and inference. • Key Developments: As of May 2026, IREN partnered with NVIDIA to deploy up to 5 gigawatts of AI infrastructure. They also secured a major $9.7 billion, 200MW, five-year AI cloud contract with Microsoft. • Capacity: Currently, they are expanding to 150,000+ GPUs to support AI workloads. 2. APLD (Applied Digital Corporation) • Role: A builder and operator of next-generation, high-density data centers specifically designed for AI and high-performance computing (HPC). • AI Focus: APLD builds "AI Factories" to provide infrastructure for hyperscalers and enterprises, offering services including GPU compute power. • Key Developments: APLD has secured large-scale, long-term leasing deals, including with companies like CoreWeave, and has secured $2.15 billion in financing for large AI projects (Polaris Forge). 3. **AMT (American Tower Corporation)** • Role: A real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns and operates wireless infrastructure, with a significant data center portfolio. • AI Focus: AMT operates through its data center subsidiary, CoreSite, which provides colocation and interconnection services to support cloud and AI deployments. • Key Developments: They focus on "edge" data centers to support low-latency AI applications and continue to develop multitenant communications real estate to meet AI demand. IREN AI Cloud & Data Centers - Vertically integrated, 100% renewable energy focus, massive GPU deployment. APLD AI Data Center Hosting - Specialized in building high-density, liquid-cooled "AI Factories" **AMT Data Center REIT** - Large-scale, established owner of 28+ data centers (via CoreSite). Note: IREN and APLD are often considered high-growth, higher-risk players in the AI space, while AMT is a larger, more established infrastructure REIT.
You must be a pleasure to work with. I said I’m former telecom and Amazon, I understand this. I mentioned AMT due to their fair valuation and association with AI infrastructure buildout which was OP’s statement. Obviously hyperscalers easily come to mind but smaller players can be undervalued. That’s just my opinion and the news articles are just receipts.
You’re just quoting news articles and not listening to the people actively in the space like myself. I actually agree AMT is a good company to invest in, but disagree with your thesis on them capitalizing on the AI play.
I didn’t say hyperscale. Obviously AMZN, GOOG, MSFT lead that space. I'm former telecom and Amazon btw. But AMT (via CoreSite) are most certainly involved with the infrastructure build out that OP mentioned. Not at Mag7 scale but decent valuation as they currently trade today, IMHO. More so APLD and IREN, but AMT fits the niche as well. *CoreSite, a subsidiary of American Tower, owns carrier-neutral data centers and provides colocation and peering services.* *CoreSite’s new internet exchanges and American Tower’s pivot toward high barrier, developed markets place the company more squarely in data center and connectivity growth themes tied to AI demand. As you weigh NYSE:AMT, the key questions are how efficiently it can scale these data center assets and how the shift away from India reshapes its risk and return profile.* https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251029829242/en/CoreSites-Chicago-AI-Optimized-Infrastructure-Powers-STNs-GPU-One-Platform-and-Helps-Deliver-Significant-Savings
AMT isn’t building AI data centers. Their core business is legacy cell towers. Not sure why you included them
Agreed. APLD, IREN, AMT come to mind
Early exercise really just means doing it before IPO. Often it can be many years between vest and the ability to sell any shares you can exercise. Unfortunately AMT is somewhat complicated and really depends on your income. If you have any reasonable amount of options I would strongly suggest finding a fee based financial advisor to guide you through the process. Early exercise is also only really a good idea if you're sure about the org and that IPO or some kind of acquisition will happen. To put this in to perspective I have worked for companies that actually had to extend contracts for people because they were about to expire after 10 years because they didn't exercise yet and we still hadn't IPO'd!
It is a BC copper-gold explorer, and I liked the regional angle. I also noticed the Wilmac project expansion, the Plume tenure, and the 2026 IP/AMT geophysics path. I am still researching it, so it is a watchlist name for me right now.
Yes I understand AMT but your question doesn't make sense? You don't buy out incentive options they are vested. AMT is triggered by exercise only of ISOs. The point of doing early exercise with options is to do it at low valuations and get long term capital gains when you eventually sell the shares.
BC has a long mining history and a lot of copper-gold porphyry systems. One I have been reading about is NovaRed Mining. Its Wilmac project is in BC and recently expanded to about 16,078 hectares after the Trojan-Condor option. Plume is also registered at about 2,062.64 hectares, with authorization for a 3D IP/AMT survey. Still early, but the 2026 geophysics program makes it worth tracking for me.
Do you understand AMT? It’s only 50k for me to buy it out but I understand I might also face significant tax liability at exercise time due to the 10x increase between strike price and FMV.
I loaded up on calls when it hit $9, took my profits and bought shares around $15. Letting it ride with essentially a $0 cost basis right now. For what it's worth, if AMT-130 gets any approvals, this is a $100+ stock. Even just the UK has 20,000 HD patients.
QURE earnings/operations update: Advancing FDA interactions on AMT-130 for Huntington’s disease; Type B meeting scheduled for the second quarter of 2026 ~ ~ Progressing AMT-130 toward expected UK regulatory submission; MAA on track for third quarter of 2026 following successful pre-submission meeting with UK MHRA ~ ~ Enrollment in AMT-260 temporal lobe epilepsy program on track; clinical update from first cohort in Phase I/IIa study to be presented at the Epilepsy Foundation Pipeline Conference ~ ~ Presented updated data from AMT-191 Phase I/IIa in Fabry disease study showed sustained increases in α-Gal A Enzyme Activity and stable Lyso-Gb3 levels; subsequently all 11 dosed patients have discontinued enzyme replacement therapy ~ ~ Strong balance sheet with $586.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and current investment securities as of March 31, 2026 and runway into the second half of 2029 ~ Love that the cash on hand takes them to 2029.

I like that they’re doing IP and AMT across several grids first instead of just yolo drilling one shiny rock.
Well, i've been planning FIRE for 15 years and retired before 40. I maxed out all my retirement accounts, did mega back door, regular back door, handled AMT, NIIT, and everything else. I think I know more than someone who just thinks "tax free" is the best despite not understanding anything.,

Bio generally scares me as well. There's a good deal written online about both names and for a full rundown I'd highly recommend reading it. If you find Peter Mantas he's done great work, but there are others. QURE has a drug called AMT-130 that it is for Huntington's disease. In clinical trials it actually appeared to have reversed the effects of the disease, which is otherwise fatal and had no cure that even stops it's progression. However, the FDA declined to approve AMT-130 because they want a double blind full placebo test. Two obvious problems there for QURE. Huntington's is kinda rare so running a multi year broad trial is really expensive and time consuming. Also, AMT-130 is injected into the brain via surgery. So you're asking doctors to do a brain surgery on placebo patients as well, which is borderline unethical at best. In the meantime, people with HD have no cure and will likely die waiting for the test. It's a big to do that includes lobbying by members of Congress and FDA resignations. I won't recount the full saga here. So, basically if the FDA clears it, this drug is massive. If not, the company is a zero. At the very least, it's an interesting read. CLPT is somewhat tangential. Remember that brain surgery required to administer AMT-130? It's done using the CLPT surgery platform. There are a few other existing therapies that use it as well, but AMT-130 would have by far the highest TAM. As a result, they have been trading somewhat in lock step. However, while QURE is a single drug play, CLPT is a platform. If the FDA clears AMT-130 there is likely to also be other therapies developed and approved using CLPT technology. There's a big push to change the level of testing needed for rare and extremely fatal diseases. Most Huntington's patients would gladly take an "experimental" therapy because otherwise they have a death sentence. A lot of people want the FDA to let them. While in the short term the two names are linked, I think CLPT has a multi year potential as new therapies get built on its platform. Ray Kurzweil (back in 1999!) did some writing on computer and AI implants in people which really stuck with me. CLPT is a potential winner if that type of thing happens. So I'd probably sell QURE of it surged on FDA approval, CLPT is one I want to hang on to.
A wise friend once told me something to this day i still remember... It is far better to pay a lot of taxes on a large capital gains... Then to have a large capital loss carryover.... I wont discuss the AMT tax trap a lot of people got screwed over with when they exercises their ISO stock options but got greedy and did not sell the shares, and the shares subsequently fell below their exercise price... Imagine exercising shares and being taxed on the excerise per AMT rules, but not being able to offset that with the massive loss you had the following year when the share price fell because the IRS limits ypur annual losses to around $3000-4000/year with the rest you have yo carry over the following year. I warned a lot of colleagues about the AMT tax rules concern ISO stock options, many of them were finance people. They didnt understand. i was an engineer that knew some of the tax laws becusse one of my siblings was an investment banker, specifically underwriting some of the tech IPOs. Lets just say those people had a lifelong capital loss carryover..
DCA slowly with under valued stocks that I already have a position in. ( mostly) Tsco, UPS, AMT, Some tech stocks that are speculative. Oklo, SMR, circ, Mara, And sitting on a larger pile of cash to buy a crash if it happens ( I’d buy in JEPI , SPYI, or a total us market index fund)
A lot of comments wondering why SPY isn't crashing. For it to crash, we need GOOG, NVDA, and AAPL to crash. if they crash, it won't be just because, it will be because a narrative shift, because these stocks are viewed as safe havens from the economy/inflation to a certain degree. So when they crash, there will be FUD in the media and you won't want to own them. The next largest components of the indexes are already in correction/crash for the most part. I think your/my own sake, we need to look for individual stock opportunities in this market. You have to go against the media narratives though. Ex. buy consumer stocks in Oct-Nov when the media was fear mongering about more tariffs hitting one day (even though said companies had already given figures on how much tariffs would cost). Or utilities last summer when we feared a pause in rate hikes. Now I am seeing the fear mongering on credit card overdone and some consumer staples like MMM and HD down hard to points they usually bounce form. PE is crashing but it may crash more because sentiment is untied to reality. Either way, instead of waiting for 2008 to repeat, maybe buy some MMM or HD or PG or wait for banks to finish dropping and buy JPM. AMT is another good stock that never gets discussed here and it's down a little
I think now is a good time to buy CRM, MSFT, AMT, HD, BX, and PG. Maybe ES. BX may be a bit controversial, but the rest are good AND all dipped a bit so you're getting a bit of a sale, which is why I recommend them. MMM and CLX are in dips after recent rallies so might be good to I'm assuming you're saying you don't care about the next ten years but I am sure at some level, you'd be pissed if you lost $ tomorrow, hence I recommend things already down but with good earnings Actually making this list I realized credit card stocks are way down too, maybe AXP is a buy?
Thought REITs would like the bad job news but I guess not. PLD down 3.3% and STAG down 2.4% which is how they behave during a crash. But DLR and AMT are up a little.
Some people want to unload to cover the AMT
You just explained what happens to tech-workers with AMT and stock-options. You have to pay taxes on stocks you can't even sell. And then the company either never goes public or goes public at a lower price than what you paid the taxes on.
Hey guys, take a look at AMT.v New management over the last 1-2 year. I own shares in AMT. https://www.reddit.com/r/pennystocks/s/OgX3CXJC24
Jesus Christ read a book. It literally has a name because it has happened so often. It's called Bracket Creep. Many taxes started out this way and ended up pulling in the middle class - Income tax, Capital Gains tax, Alternative minimum Tax (AMT) .....you can go on and on and on. This is a consistent playbook for politicians because they know groups of people hate each other.
Total straw man argument. When was the last time you paid AMT?
Worth noting that we already tax unrealized gains in the US via AMT, as anyone who's worked for a tech company that IPO'd knows. You get that tax back as a credit eventually but it can take decades, and in the meantime often have six-figure tax bills to pay. I think AMT is stupid in this way, but I also have no sympathy for billionaires whining about a wealth tax.
Very strong management and a real turnaround is most likely right around the corner. I have invested in AMT!
Going going to post some weekend research for the degens. All I study is price action on the one hour charts I think they can be used to trade options and stock with 1000% as an edge. One hour chart show the momentum from the microstructure regime of the underlying price action. Using trend lines and some basic book learning, you can easily spot situations on major indices or stocks where they basically automatically go up the next day or for the next 2/4 days. Go look at a 1H price chart, and find an instance where price opens inside the 20 EMA during pre market. If it’s inside the 20 EMA and 50 EMA…it’s a rocket ship at open. Example AMT recently, a REIT…..last Monday. Opened inside the 20 / 50 EMA on the 1H chart Monday morning. Went up +11% and 4 strikes Monday to Friday . A fucking REIT went parabolic and can be traded with a 1H chart. That exact same pattern is everywhere. $0.7 Feb 20 $185 call sold for $8.3 NBIS Friday opened inside the 20/50 EMA on the 1H , went up +9%. QQQ last Friday and Monday on the 1H charts. Friday to Monday went up like +3% if you held. Each day opened inside the 20 EMA and then the 20/50 EMA.

You get the option to buy company stock at locked price after some time with the company. You hope that stock went up during that time. Once you bought company stock through options you pay AMT tax and then hope you can sell them somehow (problem if not a public company). Ymmv

It could sink the west, we will see a credit crunch making 2008 look like a garden party... You won't be able to use your card.. or use an AMT as they will fast be empty. Most big retailers won't have the resources to operate The markets will crash, it would be the second great depression.
Damnit were AMT $180 weeklies the play? Seems like it's flying after-hours, if this thing goes to to like $185 I'm going to be upset 😭😭 Let's see what happens when the casino opens
Watching Interesting in calling $AKAN a “scam” 👇 👆 because the price is down is just confusing volatility with fraud. Microcaps with tiny floats fall hard when there’s no volume, and they rise fast when catalysts hit. Facts: • Reverse split is to maintain listing — not proof of scam. Big telecoms like $AMT, $CCI, $SBAC often restructure stock too. • Thin float means small orders can push price down, same as up. That’s market structure, not manipulation. • AKAN has telecom infrastructure optionality, similar narrative to how small infrastructure plays rerate vs larger peers. • Lack of price catalysts right now doesn’t mean no future — other stocks were quiet before running hard. Could AKAN drop? Yes. Does drop = scam? No. Trade risk, not fear. 📊💎
Our HR will never give financial advice on anything ISO or finance related, the standard tag line is always talk to your accountant and of course people will exercise their stock options and immediately triggered AMT while trying to save on taxes for long term capital gains. They then lose the shirts when market went bust only able to deduct $3k capital loss.
For advisers that focus on founders/early employees, they add value by (1) confirming the shares actually qualify for QSBS, (2) structuring exercises/83(b)/AMT and managing the 5-year clock so you don’t inadvertently blow eligibility, and (3) when the upside is meaningful, coordinating with estate planning counsel on “stacking” via spouse/trust ownership or a 1045 rollover. People assume “FA” means Edward Jones/NWM, but there are plenty doing highly specialized planning and the cost of getting any of the above examples wrong can be enormous so you really can’t DIY.
Not really! When you sell the irs takes capital gains tax up to 20%, also niit of 3.8%, possibly amt, if you live in CA they want another 13.3%. This if you hold it for at least a year. If not the irs wants up to 37% ,along with 3.8%,AMT,CA wants 13.3%. That would be well over 50%.That doesn’t even count the higher IRMMA rate if you are on Medicare. All this nonsense adds upt to 55% or more. Did you say FREE MONEY?
Look at thing though AMT (auction market theory). Understand Vanna-Volga Pricing.. Um, explore and learn before you expand is all I can add. Learn Risk and Smart Money Theory as well. Best winds.
AMT was a **very** early investor and they have a ton of debt on their balance sheet. They booked an enormous profit and are still carrying shares moving forward.
"The statement "Stock options are taxed when exercised. Stock compensation are taxed when received" is an overgeneralization, as the tax timing depends heavily on the specific type of compensation. Stock Options The taxation of stock options is split into two main types: Non-Qualified Stock Options (NSOs): These are generally taxed upon exercise. The difference between the stock's fair market value at exercise and the lower exercise price (the "bargain element") is treated as ordinary income and reported on your W-2. Incentive Stock Options (ISOs): These are generally not subject to regular income tax at exercise. However, the bargain element may trigger the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) in the year of exercise. The main tax event (for regular income tax purposes) occurs when you sell the shares. " Lolol
"The main type of stock options people are paid with are non-qualified stock options (NSOs), also known as non-statutory stock options." "Generally not a taxable event for regular income tax purposes at the time of exercise, though it may be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)." Wow, can't even get passed AI. Well don't Americans face AMT? No?
Not really. You also have niit tax of 3.8 percent and, if you live in CA, you pay another 13.4 percent. Not to mention AMT and possible IRMMA. That’s around 40 percent. So get your facts straight.
There are other ways to get interest as income. I am in highest income tax state. 51% taxable bond or fixed income. 49% not taxable or AMT exempt. Rather than investment grade bond I buy close end financials paying me 8-11% taxable etfs.63% are from fianciak, 20% from industry, IT bonds and some convertible bonds. My accident owning Tesla a default convertible stock not able to pay interest offered me worthless Tesla common shares paid off. AGG, CALI are only some of the bonds I hold. The above is only a portion of total portfolio consists of stocks. It is used as hedge stocks.
What really caused META stock to slide so much? Before you call me an idiot and say "Well, it was because of earnings", I know that, just hear me out. I am currently a graduate student studying accounting (with a focus on taxes) and have just completed a section in one of my courses on the provision for income taxes. What I don't understand is whether the dip is *purely* due to the reported EPS, which is obviously not reflective of the company's overall health when considering the financials. A one-time, non-cash expense from AMT deferred tax assets that won't be realized in the future is not a scary thing when you look at a company the size of META and understand that those DTAs could have been spread out over a decade or even longer. I have a small, but material to me, position in meta that I am unsure about, and want to know if I am missing something from someone who understands to other side of things better than me. If something else is going on, I want to understand and learn, thanks!
"We are surprised by the (U.S. Food & Drug Administration's) feedback, which is a drastic change from the guidance the FDA provided in November 2024," said Matt Kapusta, UniQure's CEO. UniQure said it plans to urgently interact with the FDA to find a path forward for the timely accelerated approval of AMT-130.
And LTCG can trigger AMT. And some states tax it too. Can also phase out other deductions. I modeled it out for my situation and above small amount d I would net pay over 30%. So while LTCG is 15% the total tax cost is actually more than double that. It's crazy.
The perk of ISOs is the tax benefit/tax deferral option. Unlike RSUs you won’t be taxed upon vesting. You should not exercise them until either the date before they expire or you want to sell the shares (in which case it’s often smart to exercise them hold for a year to flip to long term capital gains vs short term) or as mentioned here, cashless exercise which saves you from tying up any liquidity - the exception being once you have more than say $125K in gains, at which point you’d stagger the exercise to avoid triggering AMT…as you can tell RSUs are the simpler approach next time you’re given this option….choosing ISOs is for people in either high tax brackets OR if they offer you a sizable multiple of ISOs vs RSUs…ISOs are technically worth $0 at the time of award (hypothetically…if you could exercise and sell on date of award….i know someone is going to make some snarky comment about black scholes and time value…but you get what I mean)
I would need more time to really look at Google's tax position, but just looking quickly, they had a higher effective tax rate in 2024 than the AMT. So they may not be in the same position as Meta was, who had a lower effective tax rate than the AMT.
Today Opened Positions: - Calls: AMT CARR CDNS ECL GLW NXPI UNH - Puts: NEE UPS Subject to adjustment before close.
I been looking at multiple REIT sectors these include ARE, AMT, O, EQIX, and VICI which you mentioned.
>The odds of buying a small cap company and being able to hold it til it's a large cap is very low. Only about 10% of smallcap companies eventually reach the large cap universe. Flawed way of thinking. I only mentioned megacaps because everyone knows them. I also have 10x+ on SHOP ISRG MELI AMT to name a few. None of these would qualify as megacaps. Go and lookup TYL and FIX. You don't need megacap status to be a successful investment. You need consistent revenue and profit growth over time.
They litterally got multiple evaluations today that price the stock around $300 because of their AMT-130 Reward: $30 Risk: Overnight Gap of over $100 Worth? HELL FUCKING NO you'd have to be a fucking retard to short this befire FDA news
They just released positive data on their AMT-130 Huntingtons trial. Just be careful tmr it might run more but given this jump I think you might be wrong
That is an understatement. A friend exercised a lot of options as he changed jobs in early 1987, so he incurred a very large AMT related tax obligation. The. Black Monday happened on 10/19/87. He ended up having to do a cash out refinance de if his house to be able to pay his taxes.
What does AMT mean in this case?
I was young and stupid when I did that, and paid the AMT two years in a row from Dec-Jan sales. God I was stupid.
Do you want a second job as a landlord? Equities - you want to be in equities. Add some REITs if you feel your RE exposure is too low. I did - we have EPR AMT CCI O STAG (CCI is a four star buy at Morningstar, O and STAG five stars).
What was explained to me was that the exercise IS the material event and therefore the gain is calculated on that date. By doing it the way they are doing it, they get to pay the gain as along term gain TODAY and no extra taxes are due as long as they hold another year AND converting shares to Buyers stock counts as part of their hold period. If they did it another way they’d have to claim as income and the tax bill would be…egregious. There is some AMT that is due as well, but that’s a rounding error compared to the cap gains.
I’m the tax attorney this guy is referencing, and this guy is mischaracterizing my comment either because he doesn’t understand it or he is being disingenuous. Imagine having such an ego that you literally can’t respond to my comment either: (1) addressing the substance of my comment or (2) admitting you made a mistake. Instead you chose to make a second post citing hearsay from “your CPA” and a “fortune 100 exec”. Wild behavior. And that was after I gave you a lot of credit for all the free diligence you’ve provided. Below is my comment, which as far as I know is still true. And note I did not state whether the sale is a good or a bad thing, all I stated was I didn’t think it was factually correct to say there were capital gains owed here; thus, your entire prior post, which relied on AI, was factually incorrect unless someone could address my comment and explain why I’m wrong. “Ok, well Grok isn't correct on this issue. Capital gains are not owed on unrealized gains and are only owed on the sale of shares. I am quite literally a tax attorney (albeit I do not specialize in this particular matter). Now, if this was an NSO, then it may be taxed as ordinary income or it may generate AMT, but in no way that I can see would the exercising of a stock option require Mr. Plassche to pay capital gains. Of course, this isn't legal advice. Also, I am very bullish on ELTP and appreciate all the free diligence you have provided. I just don’t think this is correct. Happy to admit if I’m wrong, though.”

Yeah. But be wary of AMT if the unrealized gain is close to your current salary. The unrealized gain is taxable under the alternative minimum tax system, if it's more than your ordinary income tax, you'll pay the AMT. That's why ideally you should have been exercising every year.
The interaction between buyers and sellers in the order book is literally what creates the price, is called order book dynamics or price discovery. The dynamics between price and volume make possible to read this dynamics. There are literally two entire volume based schools of analysis, VSA and AMT, besides Wyckoff that originate both of then. It is a backlooking metric? Yes, just like everything else. It make volume less efective? No.
Tax situation is just one of those things that's going to vary wildly depending on the person, the type of account(s) they hold, the assets they hold, how long they've held them, where they live, etc. For starters, let's assume you're a US-based investor and that you're investing for retirement with a tax-advantaged account (401k, IRA, etc.), while still in the wealth accumulation phase. That's probably the main focus for the majority of working Americans from their 20's through their 50's. In that situation, taxes aren't a concern. The activity within that account is sheltered from taxes. Buy, sell, re-invest, do whatever—it doesn't matter. *Outside of that specific easy situation*, figuring out tax implications can get really involved really quickly. Short-term and long-term capital gains, qualified versus non-qualified dividends, interest that may be taxable at the federal or state level, how all those things vary with your specific income level, whether you have to think about AMT, if you have paid any foreign tax, etc. And that's just for US investors. Globally, someone watching a YouTube video, who knows what the tax implications are in the country they're watching from? Investments and taxes certainly have overlap, but they're also their own unique beasts.
You can’t even access a Roth IRA if you make too much money. AMT sucks too. No write-offs. You essentially get penalized if you’re too successful which is insane…Meanwhile billionaires write everything off as a biz expense. Our tax system is whack…
Yeah, there’s lots of horror stories about AMT during the dot com era because ISO was the preferred way for equity compensation back then.
Thank you for making me aware of AMT, you potentially saved me a lot of money. https://equitysimplified.com/amt-calculator/ To my question about capital gains, the guides online say the gains are from the strike price rather than price at exercise, which is counterintuitive, seems to defeat the purpose of accepting your bonus in options over RSUs. Oh well.
Exercise and hold could create a taxable event. Go search ISO AMT for more details. It depends on your income and other tax liability. If you exercise and sell immediately and assume sell price is higher than you excise cost, there will be tax consequences. How much you have to pay will depend on your other income and tax situation.
Are you *trying* to get extra tech heavy? VOO is already quite tech heav. I'd rather see any (or several) of * a REIT ETF (I have O, CCI, STAG, EPR and AMT - no residential mortgage stuff tho) * maybe 5% VXUS * some VYM But really just all in an index fund is fine, as well.
